Methotrexate shortage...

Supply of a Cancer Drug May Run Out Within Weekswww.nytimes.comI hope none of you are affected by this shortage, but thought the article was worth posting just in case. I'm personally allergic to Methotrexate and have never been able to take it in any form, but the fact that our country is suddenly low on supply of such an important drug, that so many people rely on to function on a daily basis or even to keep them alive, is frightening! From what I've read, it sounds like the shortage is only in the preservative-free methotrexate injection form, so hopefully they can work things out soon and get these meds to the people that need them most.
